Question

Write a new equation:

f(x)=-x+5; horizontal translation 2 units left

Answer 1

find \[f(x+2\) to move it two units left

Answer 2

Begin with the given equation: f(x)=-x+5

Replace "x" in this equation with "( )" (on both sides)

write "x+2" inside each of the 2 sets of parentheses

Simplify. Done.

Answer 3

f(x+2)=(x+2)+5
f(x+2)=x+7

Did I do that right?

Answer 4

Almost, you forgot the negative on the x.

f(x+2)= -(x + 2) + 5 = -x + 3

Answer 5

Oh, okay, thank you!!
